The room was cozy with comfortable beds. The backyard area was cute with a spa and games like corn hole. The beds were comfortable and we loved the little electric fireplace/ we will definitely be staying here again.

The area was quiet and calm, the room was small but not a surprise we saw the pictures. It’s very much like a mini cabin and we enjoyed the jacuzzi. The beds were very comfortable and clean.

My husband and I stayed one night passing through Truckee to get to the Bay Area. The room was cozy and very comfortable. The property is walking distance to the Pub at Donner Lake, and right across from the Little Truckee Ice Creamery (incredible ice cream). It was a great place to get a few hours rest.

The towels were musty smelling and I needed a shower when I got home! The room was much smaller than it appeared in the photos. The hosts were nice and responded to our needs in a timely manner.

This was perfect for our family for two nights. Everything we expected was in place, our hosts were responsive when we reached out. Short walk to the lake, short drive to the ski slopes and tubing hills. Exactly what we needed.

Very small but cozy room. The carpet could have been cleaner. When I came for breakfast, there were only two dry pastries with cheese and ham — I’m not sure where the “great breakfast” that others mentioned was. After we checked out, I asked the owner if we had left anything behind in the room, but she never responded. Of course, she’s not obligated to reply, but a simple “nothing was found” would have been appreciated — just to leave with peace of mind. On the bright side, they kindly allowed us to check in earlier — big thank you for that! Also, the location is very convenient

Very Convenient if you're Skiing on Donnor Summit

This is a beautiful little place. We stayed in a room with one queen bed and a bunk bed with three beds. Had two boys with us for a snowboard event at Boreal, which is a seven-minute drive, allowing us to drive them to the event at 8 am, come back to the hotel, shower, eat their nice breakfast, and head back up at checkout at 10 am.

Our hosts Nina & Jim were warm and welcoming. The Inn is a picture perfect mountain retreat. Our room was wonderfully appointed, a great Franklin stove, super comfortable bed, very cozy. The breakfast was healthy- the overnight oats - Yummy, homemade banana bread - outstanding, high tech coffee machine to more than satisfy the coffee aficionado and the hot chocolate - Lucious. If you’re going to Donner Lake, your first choice should be the Donner Lake Inn…!!
